Advanced Camera Card - Switch to active camera

Configuration Frontend
1

I have few displays showing me the camera feed from multiple cameras. The display shows each camera for 5 seconds then on to the next. This is all works just fine. What I would like to change is when one of the cameras detects motion the display switched to the live feed of that camera for the next 30 seconds. {Code to follow}

Is this possible? I tried to get it to switch and hold for 10 seconds but never got that code to happen.

How about creating a new switch based on motion that turns on with motion, and off after 20 seconds. Put that in Trigger from other entities

Looks like Trigger Live is designed to do this.

The example is very basic. It’ll take a bit of figuring out all the settings needed to do what you are after.

will look into this. You are right, example is very small.

Any luck on this? I’ve been trying todo something similar like this too but I gave up.

A few hits and misses. Looking at having two cards. One rotating through the camera, the other displaying steady feed of last active camera.

Tried doing it on one card, but the rotating camera feed trumped the steady feed from active camera. Not found a way around that yet

I have decided for better or worse to go with two images. One will rotate through all the camera, the second one I am working on.

The second screen will automatically switch to the last camera with motion and stay there until a new camera detects motion. Still working on how to do this, but getting there.

As for the first image, the yaml code I put up does that now.

I was hoping you could get there with this card.

I use multiple cards with boolean helpers to show/not show them.

They are put in order of importance from top to bottom in my tablet dashboard.

Meaning, front door is most important and at the top. Below that is driveway. Then, basement door followed by deer feeder.

The cards are like

type: conditional
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity: input_boolean.show_front_door
    state: "on"
card:
  type: custom:webrtc-camera
  url: http://#CameraServerIP#/mjpg/#FrontDoorCameraName#
  mode: mjpeg
  style: ".mode {display: none}"

I have automations that turn on/off the booleans.
